Grab your best friends, put on your favorite outfit, and get ready for a special weekend filled with great food, relaxation, endless shopping, and lifelong memories. Whether you're celebrating a birthday getaway, bachelorette weekend, or you’re just due for a girls' trip, McKinney is the perfect pick for your next girls' weekend.
Check In and Chill Out
Where do you start your weekend fun in Mckinney? Check in and chill out at one of the many comfortable and stylish accommodations! There are plenty of options for you and your girls to choose from.
If you’re wanting the full McKinney experience full of charm, book a vintage room at The Grand Hotel in the heart of Historic Downtown. Originally built in 1885, this boutique-style hotel is just steps away from all the shopping, eating, and entertainment you could ever need! There’s even a bar and Rick’s Chophouse attached to the property making it an ideal spot for your first night’s meal.
For the most Instagram-able moments, The Bingham Estate is a perfect pick. Work on your tan at the Hollywood-style pool or pick up a quick match of pickleball. Each one of the luxury cottages will make you feel right at home.
Dinner: Cheers to the Weekend
For a chill Friday night dinner, head over to Pie Tap Pizza at District 121 to try their handcrafted pizza and fresh creamy pastas made with their sourdough starter that dates back 300 years to Italian roots. If the weather’s nice, enjoy live music as you dine and catch up that drifts over from the District 121 stage. And you can’t leave without sipping on a few frozen Espresso Martinis which will also keep you energized for the night.
Feeling like cranking up the vibes? The live DJ and crispy buffalo chicken sandwich will blow you away at The Common Table. Pair this with the one-of-a-kind Skittles Sangria, which is just as fun as it sounds.
Of course, no girls' night is truly complete without a sweet treat. Walk off your meal and end the evening the right way with some ooey and gooey goodness at Chip City. No matter what flavor you are craving, more than 100 rotating cookie flavors are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth. Rumor has it that if you get a whole box for the road, it can come in very handy for a late-night treat and debrief session.
Breakfast: Fuel up for the fun!
After resting up for your next day’s adventure, it's time to fuel up.
Start off at Happymix Creperie, where beautiful crepes topped with fresh fruit and Nutella are a perfect phone-eats-first moment. There’s even bacon, egg, and cheese crepes for those who prefer a savory breakfast. The refreshing berry smoothies and juices make breakfast almost too pretty to sip. And don’t forget to take a selfie with the girls to remember later on!
For a more relaxing start, visit the cozy Arena Café with a breakfast taco in one hand and an iced latte in the other. It’s the perfect spot for recapping everyone’s favorite moments from the night before.
Spa: Recharge in Style
What girls' trip doesn't love a little pampering?
Treat your friend group to some relaxation at Pavitra Organic Day Spa with treatments that are 100% all-natural, organic, and made with eco-friendly products. Nothing that will harm your skin or the earth, double bonus!
Or escape to the Spa Esoteric in a beautifully restored Victorian house. Relax with an exotic full-body massage and take home one of the house-made Rue 105 candles.
Lunch: Grab a Bite
If you’re staying in the heart of downtown, Patina Green Home and Market is a perfect midday stop to grab a delicious bite from their seasonal farm-to-table menu selection. The Turkey Caesar and classic BLT will leave you full and satisfied. Or grab a delectable Bacon Cheddar BBQ burger and crispy sweet potato fries at a local favorite, Square Burger. Either of these meals are hard to beat!
Shopping: Shop 'til You Drop
Let's be honest, this is the part everyone has been waiting for, because is it really a girl's trip if you don't do a little boutique shopping? Luckily, Historic Downtown McKinney is home to some of the trendiest eye-catching shops.
Landry Kate can dress you from head to toe with cute sunglasses and strappy sandals. You can stock up on all the self-care must-haves at The Standard, from fancy bath salts to unique cocktail mixers. Fill your shopping bags at the viral Apricot Lane Boutique with trendy matching sets, statement jewelry, and must-have accessories. Then, make your way to The Little Red Hen, where you'll find the perfect flowy sundress, stylish wedge booties, and so many boutique treasures that you will just “have to have”.
These shops and the other 100 unique stores make it nearly impossible to leave empty-handed.
Dinner: Picture-Perfect End
Step into your Pinterest board through the beautiful European-inspired streets of Adriatica Village. Choose from more than 80 wine selections at Zin Zen Wine Bistro and enjoy their balsamic-glazed bruschetta.
Umai Sushi, another gem of Adriatica right on the water, will leave you and your girls speechless from the amazing views from the traditional Japanese sushi dishes. Adriatica never fails when it comes to great food and even better photo ops for the group.
Nothing says "successful girls' trip" like crying from laughter. End the night by swinging by The Comedy Arena and letting the comedians do the rest. You’re sure to leave with a few new inside jokes and maybe a sore stomach from laughing.
